Some people journal. Some people scream-cry in their car. You? You’re gonna process your feelings the healthiest way possible: at a Taylor Swift Rave. We’re giving away free tickets to the most emotionally unhinged dance party of the season: sequins, scream-singing, and deep cuts included.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • If you missed out, fate’s giving you one last shot to sway under the stars to those cinematic, heart-throbbin’ anthems from Lord Huron on Friday.*

  • Robyn Hitchcock once said “what you see is never what you get” which explains why his shows always feel like a lucid dream scored by jangly psychedelia and deadpan charm. Get tickets for Wonder Ballroom in February.

  • The Sadies make the kind of cosmic country that feels like tumbleweeds rolling through a David Lynch fever dream. Are you sold? Get tickets for Star Theater on February 13.

  • Ian Munsick is what happens when you blend fiddle-forward cowboy twang with TikTok swagger and a Rocky Mountain heart. He’s performing at Roseland Theater in February!

  • Iris DeMent’s voice cuts through time with songs that feel as if they were handwritten for your soul. Don’t miss her in April at Aladdin Theater.

UPCOMING COMEDY SHOWS

Stand-up season is in full unhinged swing. From Maria Bamford’s beautiful brain spirals to Adam Sandler’s dad-joke chaos to Celeste Barber’s internet-breaking antics, this comedy lineup is stacked and strange in all the best ways. We rounded up the funniest shows coming your way (plus a few you didn’t know you needed).

THIS WEEK

🎸 Rival Schools / Narrow Head

Tonight @ Mississippi Studios (8PM)

Narrow Head and Rival Schools are teaming up for a night of heavy nostalgia and even heavier riffs. Shoegaze sludge meets post-hardcore pedigree.

🎤 Penny & Sparrow

Tonight @ Revolution Hall (8PM)

Penny & Sparrow are bringing their slow-burn harmonies and soul-crushing ballads to the stage. It’s folk, it’s theatrical, it’s emotionally unsafe in the best way.

🎶 The Beta Band

Tomorrow @ Crystal Ballroom (8:30PM)

The Beta Band is back! The cult legends are reuniting for the first time in 20 years.
Expect weird grooves, stoner genius, and maybe even that High Fidelity scene in real life.

🔥 Durry

Tomorrow @ Wonder Ballroom (8PM)

Catch sibling duo Durry turn quarter-life crises into fuzzed-out sing-alongs you’ll feel in your bones.

🔊 Allan Rayman

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (8PM)

Expect croons, growls, and a live show that feels like stepping into a noir fever dream when Allan Rayman hits the stage.
